Description
As you stare into her eyes, romance her canvas on your fingertips, and desperately wish the rose to come alive and challenge the taste of paint on her lips that hold you wondering…….is she alive or is she art?mary
the grand finale of this series
(FULL VIEW to get close but don’t touch
I wanted to play up how I see this as half man/half art. Literally and symbolically. The left side is more “real” and the right side is more “art” as if she’s coming in or out of a canvas. The human face but covered in paint with a symbol of love
inspired by the work of originally
the others in this series include:
Peace and Love – [link]
Lust – [link]
Love is an Illusion - [link]
Lovestruck - [link]

I love the idea behind the make-up.
This composition (with the flower) is excellent.

After seeing all of the series, I'll have to say this is my favorite (followed closely by the LAST last picture ) I love the subtle feeling of stepping out of a canvas, acheived by makeup technique. This series seems almost sinister in a quiet way, strictly visually speaking that is. It's dramatic, creative, original... My only real nitpick is that some of the photos came out a bit grainy, which I think takes away from the overall feeling. It shows particularly in the eyes of the picture with the strawberry - very muddled, when the eyes should be sharp, clear and piercing.
All in all though, I think this is work you should be very proud of, and I love it!

Hello,
I'm .
I was browsing through your gallery and came across this series.
I think it's very beautifully done. The contrasts are great; easpecially on the one with the strawberry and this one.
Have you come up with an acutal name for the series?

The black heart on the face is excellent, and the b&w works brilliantly. Lovely shot.

I really like this series. The black and white seems to give the faces new shape, and it's just so different, and unique. It's awsome! And I love that rose! Really cool.

love that little wisp of hair to the right
and how the rose stem is light until it goes into your mouth
and comes out dark on the left end of the frame.
(speaking of) the crop and framing is really great,
i like the way your heart shaped face
mirrors that heart shaped point of ear
and just to the right further -
a heart shaped pointed tuft of hair.
you'd look wonderful on a wall
for some reason, i'm drawn to that paint patchy
bare and vulnerable part of your shoulder.
but in a good way . . .
you're like an unfinished painting

Hehe, obviously I'm not even close to being the first to notice how awesome this image is! But still, I MUST comment. I really love that the black paint is imperfect in places. And the whole image in general works beautifully. It makes me think of this old piece I did: [link]
but inversed. I almost want to go back and change mine to look more like yours!

oh god, this looks so good. i love the b/w to it because it makes the colour on the skin look more like a texture which fits with the "art" side of this photo.
love everything about and cant give you any suggestions.
for sure.

is she live or is she art? love is an illusion often - fantasy, obsession, romance - it was a blast to explore this way

to me, this one is the best of the series.
Also, there is hardly anything on earth that is as beautiful as a white rose...
Spectacular photograph, really really good.

Sometimes, it seems as if you are attempting to create a new artistic movement where it is all about magnifying the freshness of details. I do wish to imply that you are doing a brilliant job with this but it seems as if it is not catching on. You are doing nothing wrong. Everyone else is just slow to catch on.
;&;
I admire the way you link the classical with the modern. Good photographs are timeless. Unlike fads. Remember that, my dear.
